Among-those who have any money, who are very few, and official people, who are clamorous with hunger, you hear discus sions of some new plan or other, to prevent the titled MArihals from laying hold of every thing, and leaving them only to bark at the moon. You may also see and hear, that the Ministers of Joseph have neither charkter nor talent, and that they think of nothing 'but keeping their places. Others speak of the imprulence of many enlightened men, and ot their Obstinacy m refusing to enter the lodges of Freemasons; knowing that Joseph has done every thing to foster them, because he has met with most proofs of attachment from their members. As conversation turns only on. such points, as the daily papers preserve the most profound silence, and the police are very vigilant, 'we know nothing . of what passes abroad; we therefore anxiously listen to the, inhabitants of the adjoining villages, who tell us of the Elnpecinado, of Avuelo, of the Medico, of the Manco, and other patriotic parties, who have-been in their villages, and who relate to them the actions in Catalonia by General Q'Don-- nell • 'those in Extremadura of the.

But no, -my friend; here there is only liberty-. to speak against religion, against patriotic Spaniards and their government, and against, the English.

These are to be seen coming in wounded, batteted, 'exhausted ; and on arriving' at their lodg ings, they rage, foam, and curse their fate, calling their Emperor a kriganc4 and Joseph a beast,' &c., One of them came enraged the other day from' Goadalaxara, saying, That barbarian Naptileon has pledged himself to make his foot. stool bf a bra ther,, King of this country, and he did not know what he was about.

TARRAGONA, OCT, Excellency Don En rique O'Donnell has just transrnitted to the Provi• siontil Congress a bispinch which he has received, by.express, from the Marquis de Canipoverde, to the following purpose : " From the Field of Battle, near Sallagosa, Sept. 29, ISzo. " MOST EXCELLENT SIR—In compliance with your Excellency's orders, and notwithstandirg the enemy had received previous intellience, that a di vision was proceeding to attack them in Puigcreda, I was enabled, by the, rapidity of my marches, to over take them, this morning at seven, within a league and a half of the said town ; and -at present (eleven o'clock) not wishing to delay the communieatiop of such satisfattory intelligence, I can only inform yaor Excellency from •the field of battle itself, that the enemy, although •I had marched through the greatest part of the plain of la Cerdague without perceiving then., have been completely beaten,' in every one of their positions, by the troops of the division under my command, in such a manner that the valour and discipline of the "lager leaving nothing for me to wi,ii for, I have been gratified by the sight of the disorderly and shameful flight over the mountains of that very enemy who, to the num ber of two thooSand, bragged, on the preceding day, that they would wait for me in the strong position of Puigcerda, protected by their artillery ; but the latter has remained in our hands, as well as a con siderable number of prisoners who are not all yet come in, exclusive of a still greater number killed and wounded, In short, I will send your Excel lency a detailed account of the whole, as soon as time and circumstances permit, and I receive the corresponding reports ; being enabled, in the . mean time, to assure your Excellency that the whole di vision has behaved as well as you could wish. The men are loaded with booty ; and quantities of arms, ammuntion, and cattle of all kinds, have already been, and will turther be secured. To-morrow and the day atter I will allow the troops to rest, which are tired by such ince'sslta marches ; and un the following day I will proceed to the position which I have mentioned to your Excellency, time to wait for your orders.

ALICANT, OCT. 24.—The sielgiess is growing worse and worse at Cariltagetia, ,where the number of deaths now amounCto between eighty and eighty five a day. " Gibraltar Bay, Oft. 29. <<SlR —After car e f u lly observing the symptoms and progress:pf the fever that lately , raged here, and comparing it with the accounts of the malignant yellow fever thal prevails in the West Indies, I am clearly of opinion, that it exactly the same'''dis ease. In its symptoms and character it almost ac curately corresponded with the description of that disease given by Moseley on West li,dia Diseases.— In the first or inflammatory stage, the most re markable and frequent symptoms were a very se vere pain in the tore part of the En:ad, sometimes shooting to , the hind part ; eyes red ; face flushed and turgid ; pulse frequent, full and strong ; skin very hot ;• these symptoms generally preceded by and attended with co , tiveness—l have not seen any pain or uneasiness of the stomach at this period. After two or three days, these symptoms are all much abated, and there is apparent relief ; but it is soon followed by more distressing and unmanageable ones. "Themcomes on a sense of uneasiness, and some times very smart ,pain, at the pit of the stomach, soon attended with a vomiting, at first of the usual contents of the stomach, b u t afterwards of a dirty dark brown or black matter, sometimes almost like black muddy ditch water. There were frequently, also, constant - purging of the same kind of matter, but sometimes of ditfereht consistence, and not so watery as that thrown np. These alarming - symp toms admitted of but little relief, .and, when vio lent, sometimes carried off the unfortunate sufterer in twenty-four hours from their commencement; at other times less severe and more lingering in their course : in a few cases the hiccough was very Iron blesoine. One man who; I understood, had been along time ill, whose case I '.:new nothing or, as he was speechless when first I saw hitn, lay tr,bet ter than two days in,almost constant convulsions be fore he expired. A short time previoUs to death, the yellowness app e ars a b out t h e eyes and sprea d s over the body ; about the same time hemorrhages, ,have occurred. " I am, Sir, your obedient, W. Pym, Esq. &c. &c , " JOl-111 ART ii:jß." " Camp, November I. " Sir—Having been above two years in the West Indies, as Surgeon in the Gist regiment, during which time I had an opportunitr of seeing much of the Bulam, or Yellow Fever, so .well described by Doctor Chisholm, I am clearly of opinion,.that the fever which has now made ►ts appearance in the 7th Royal Veteran Battalion, is the vine disease; that it is highly contagious, and that the measures which have been adopted to prevent its spreading were absolutely necessary ; a convincing- proof of. which is, that all the men who have died came out of the same barrack,. " I have the honour, &c. " J. Ktnsog. 4g W. l'ym, Esq. &c. &c. Surgeon 7th R.V. Battalion.', Mr. Wafters, Assistant Surgeon, concurs in 'the same opinion. " GIARALTAR, Nov. 2.—The Board of Health established by his,Ekcellencv the Lieutenant-Gover nor, alien receiving the Reports of the Medical Gentlemen of this garrison, are happy in having it in their power to state, that the fever, which, ac cording to the said Reports, did exist, is diminished in its influence and that, except in the Lazaretto, there are now no cases existing on shore ; and that only three cases have occurred in the Bay since the last Report. (Signed) " EDW. ARCHIBOLD, V. Pres. " JAMES BELL, Sec." a GIBRALTAR, Nov. 3.—/n addition to the cases of fever which were sent to the Lazaret en the even ing of the 26th of _last month, several soldiers with the same disease in the 7th Royal Veteran Battalion, were reported to Dr. Pyrn i ou the 28 Ifi, two of whom died in the Regimental Hospital, which is situated within the sentinels fornnng a cordon around the intealed tlistri6t in the South, in consequence of which, the same precautions which had been taken before, were immediately had recourse to, and, on the same evening, the whole of the Hospital esta blishments were encamped on the Lazaret ground. Several eases were also reported in the bairacks of the same regiment; on which account it was thought necessary, with a view of putting a stop to the disease, to keep the whole regiment in quaran tine. Preparations were immediately made, and the Battalion, with all the women and children, marched from the Barracks into carry on the Neutral Ground, on the evening of the 29th. The greatest hopes are entertained of its having the desired effect. The regiment has only lost six men from this disease ; and it is worthy of remark, ihat they were all taken ill in the barrack-room. " The Board of Health which has been established in the Garrison last night made a Report to his Ex cellency the Lieutenant-Governor of which we sub join a copy, together with several other reports or letters relative to the symptoms of the disease on board the transports, and in the Lazaret, and to the state of the pubiie health in Cadiz and Carthagena. EXTRACT FROM SIR JAMES FELLOWES' REPORT UP- ON THE DISEASE AT CADIZ. " From all the information I have been able to obtain from the Spanish practitioners of eminent e here, from the documents which have been present ed to me by the Junta, and from my own personal observation in the public hospital of this city, I can not doubt the ex , s'ence of _a disease of a dang , .rous na . ure in certain parts of this town. I hate this, night recommended to the Board, that, as the dan ger to be apprehended from the disease spre:lding, arises from the number of persons collected together in close and ill-aired apartments, the utmost vigi !kite at.d authority must be used to separate the sick imm,!didtely, 'where it can be done, and to remove • thrill to the public Hospital.
